As for "touchback amnesty", that is another meaningless talking point foisted by the media during a contentious campaign season that you seem overly eager to take at face value -- because it is true? No, because it fits your prejudiced assumptions about a candidate you don't like on emotional grounds.
When he has said that illegals can come back legally, at no time did he offer an immediate "touchback". His plan is that no criminals would be allowed back, and that anyone who had worked and stayed out of trouble here would have to get in line and reapply, something that normally takes a minimum of five years -- knowing full well that only a small minority of those here illegally could or would qualify. As you may be aware, some are here illegally due to being brought here by their parents when they were small children, and are not legally guilty of intent to commit the crime of illegal entry.
But beyond that, my scolding towards you was that your post was harshly (and without facts) condemnatory of his supporters, and I called you out on that. Unable to rationalize your uncivil slander of your fellow freepers, you tried to change the subject with this post; but I'm not buying it. This post reveals just how superficial is your understanding is of these issues, and how willing you are to sling mud without really grasping the facts of the situation.
Vote for whomever you want; no one is stopping you. But when you slander the judgment of other freepers for supporting Trump, try learning more about the truth of your accusations if yiou want to avoid being called out and flamed for it.
Totally irrelevant. The issue is not Trump's experience with eminent domain. The issue is his philosophical belief on property. Trump has stated that he 100% supports the Kelo decision, which at the time would have separated himself from every single member of FreeRepublic. When that decision came out, one could not find a single poster here that agreed with it. Not a one.
If you could see the one location as I have, the lady who held out absolutely did it for crank reasons and ended up forfeiting for her heirs what would have been . . .
Again, totally irrelevant. And do you know why? BECAUSE IT WAS HER PROPERTY! SHE OWNED IT! IT BELONGED TO HER AND HER ALONE!

Because it is what Donald Trump said he would do. He even used the term 'expedite' in reference to the process of bringing them back. Emotion has nothing to do with it. It has everything to do with what Trump actually said.

Nope, Trump said they would be expedited back in. So the 'normal' process is not in play here. Again, it is what Trump said.
